Remarks on llic Forcing of Hyacinths. 465 



The object principally aimed at in the following list is to 

 combine earliness of flowering with variety in color. I would 

 also recommend a large proportion of single varieties to be 

 selected, as affording a greater supply of bloom, more distinct- 

 ness in color, and are also better adapted for forcing, the 

 flower stems not being so often damaged or rotten, as in the 

 double sorts.
